Scripted Get not working

Copied and pasted get example from help, would not download the file. Document example has errors suggest update.

Searched for the word get in this forum, no results.

Nothing obvious in the browse of a couple of other threads.

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

Well command line /log does not work and my Preferences window has no Logging category!

Using WinSCP 4.1.8 Build 415

Maybe I don't have local administration permissions? I did not install WinSCP

First make sure you use the latest version. When opening Preferences dialog from Login dialog, the Logging tab is not shown because it is already on the Login dialog.

Okay do I really need to upgrade?

Enabled logging in the Login/Preferences window but the command line /log still does not generate a log file anywhere.

I do not support old version.

Post an example of command-line you are using.

Got it working.

Upgraded to latest version which had error about remote system's key not in cache. Manually logged in once and then script worked.
